About this opportunity

The U.S. Department of State's Office of Acquisition Management has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to identify small businesses capable of providing high-quality hand-lettered calligraphy services to support the requirements of the Office of Presidential Appointments. The RFI outlines the scope of work, which includes providing formal hand-lettered script calligraphy for various categories of Presidential, Ambassador, and Foreign Service commissions, as well as arranging for timely deliveries and pickups. The Department is seeking service providers that can meet specific turnaround times, ranging from 1-2 business days for "RUSH" commissions to 5-14 business days for regular commissions. Responses to this RFI are due by June 7, 2024 at 4:00PM EST, and the government will not compensate respondents for their costs.

This RFI is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside. The government has not provided any information about potential incumbents or current contractors. The RFI does not specify an award value or budget range, as it is solely an information gathering exercise to support future acquisition planning. The government is interested in attracting new calligraphy service providers to meet the requirements outlined in the RFI and the related Statement of Work.
